SHONAN KACHIDOKI (9) Should be ready to fire fresh. Displayed potential when winning by 1 3/4L last time here. Should come to hand quickly. Hidemitsu Sakai stable are on fire recently. No surprise to see a forward showing and one of the main hopes in this race. SNOW CANDLE (11) Finished 7th last time at the track. Should bounce back and strong form at the trip. Good to see Norifumi Mikamoto is jumping on. Should race on the speed. Strong chance. RICK (5) Came in 4th last run at this track. Happy to overlook that run but carrying more weight than last time. Should jump out and bowl along. One of the major players. RICKI FAITH (6) Back from a break. Tidy run when 2nd last time around here on a heavy rated track and getting better in recent performances. Has plenty of early speed. Must come into consideration.
